After 8 issues you change the format.

The change was inevitable, oversized watches are going out of style.

Lukebennett21 · 1 June 2021, 06:37 AM

Yeah do you think you can give full measurements? Wonder if it reads differently

Has the thickness changed, Jocke?

ShaneR · 1 June 2021, 08:58 AM

Pretty clear sign the new 2022 sports model releases will be going down to 39mm case size. It could mean nothing else.

Just tapering the margins for comfortability

Could have to do with the printer/printing presses or distribution. I get the Good Guys monthly car magazine and they change size format (smaller) last year to fit magazine racks. Also saved them some money, though I doubt that’s why Rolex did it.

Shrinkage, it went in a very cold pool a la George Costanza

SeaAndSky · 1 June 2021, 12:34 PM

It looks like not only has the format changed but also the way the crown should line up. Lol. Will this finally put to bed all the silliness over crown alignment?

muskaroxs · 1 June 2021, 01:03 PM

Can you order this magazine? Or only available at AD's?

tla · 2 June 2021, 02:35 PM

Only at ADs

this magazine is a counterfeit and a poor one at that. The picture margins are supposed to align with the R and the X, this is not quite there. Also the top margin goes into the lettering, which one of the classic knock-off mistakes. I'm not even sure the picture is of a genuine Rolex, or that it's a real magazine.

DoctorA · 2 June 2021, 11:06 PM

Has anyone seen those at the US ADs? Mine hasn’t received them as of last week!

garyk · 2 June 2021, 11:11 PM

I have to now travel a bit to the AD but I will be in Los Angeles next week so I’ll see if they have these yet.

macrowatch · 3 June 2021, 12:10 AM

Shrinkflation!

DtownRRS · 3 June 2021, 12:21 AM

Hey, at least it still on white paper not Kraft Brown!

Driver8 · 3 June 2021, 12:28 AM

I've got the first 8 myself and TBH I wasn't expecting them to produce any more as it's been a while since the last one came out. I know in the grand scheme of pretty much anything(!) the size of the magazine is totally irrelevant, BUT... I just know the new one's size is going to irritate me on my shelf!

First world problems huh?!

evlhomer · 3 June 2021, 12:33 AM

So can you just go in and ask for the magazine at an AD? I have been given the smaller Rolex catalog books in the past but have never seen these at an AD.

My AD just has them out next to the catalogues as part of the display. I just pick them up when I'm in town and a new one's available. No asking required.
